I forgot that last week there was a Saudi league match and I felt quite happy to see Al-Ittihad get this lucky win. I don't know for sure why Al-Ittihad continues to show performance that is not guaranteed and fortunately they were still given the win due to mistakes made by their opponents.

I think if this continues then we will see Al-Ittihad without any real changes next season and they will often lose points with the lack of strategic processes in each match. Maybe now they can still smile by occasionally winning, but what is clear is that when they face a much stronger opponent, they can't do anything else. Apart from that, against weak teams they will have great difficulty and will always be deadlocked in the future.

In the end, this was actually pretty easy for Al Nassr. The way this match started and the way Mane missed the penalty, I thought they were not going to win this match. But obviously, I was wrong. In the end, they were able to make a good comeback in this match.

I actually feel sorry for the goalkeeper of Al Feiha. Almost everything. The first goal that Al Nassr actually scored was unstoppable, to be honest. But even after that, he was performing well. After that, he made a big mistake and Mane was able to score. If he hadn’t made that mistake, the outcome of the match could have been very different. I think with this win, they are able to keep the hopes of winning the league title alive. But of course, I still don’t think they will actually be able to do anything about winning the title because the point difference is just too much at this moment.

And of course, I missed Ronaldo.

There's no win that should be useless for a top club like Al Nassr if you ask me. The truth is that Al Nassr were unable to win the Saudi Pro League this season and are very unlikely to go past the current league leaders in the lead Al Hilal but that in any way doesn't change fact that Al Nassr have been very impressive this season. They have to keep winning as many matches as possible so the confidence of the team will be on the best ratio going into the end of of the season. They definitely do have a chance of making up their shortcomings this season by winning the league next season as well as having a better outing in the Asian Champions League than what they had this season. The club's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo is one player that loves to win as numerous trophies and the fact that he's failed to win anyone at his current club is a strong indication of how difficult it is to win the Saudi league but I think he'll be doing his best to make sure Al Nassr win the league title by next season

Al Nassr is still keep winning for their previous matches but seems it was useless because they cannot taking over first position from Al Hilal and actually Ronaldo is really curious want to gets Saudi Pro League trophy with Al Nassr but unfortunately he have to forget his ambition because just like i said before Al Hilal is too consistent this season and it's hard to pursuing them especially Al Hilal still unbeatable which this is fantastic records and the race title has been over because obviously Al Hilal is the champion of this season but indeed Al Nassr still have any chances to gets the trophy because they still playing at King Cup and against Al Khaleej at the semifinal i think Al Nassr should be go all in because this is their only chance to get a trophy and if Al Nassr can win from Al Khaleej and advances to the final match then they will facing the winner between Al Hilal vs Al Ittihad and yes there is possibility Al Nassr will met Al Hilal at the final match later

It is very rare for a player to still be able to perform well when he is almost 40, but Cristiano Ronaldo can do that with Al Nassr. Despite his failure to help Al Nassr become champions, it was not entirely his fault because in reality Al Nassr's teamwork itself was not very solid, especially in the defense line. That's what makes Al Nassr unable to do much this season, I mean they can't do much when facing Al Hilal which is the strongest club in the Saudi Pro League.

Returning to Ronaldo, he is a player who can maintain his fitness very well. Because if we look at players at their current age, those players no longer have bodies that are proportional to being a football player. However, he does seem to have decreased in speed, he is no longer a young player who has good speed, this is a very natural thing because age can never be overcome even if a player trains hard, it's just that maybe it will slow down his speed or his fitness.

With the financial strength they currently have, many are optimistic that the Saudi Pro League can develop to be more competitive as expected, of course this development will be achieved gradually. The addition of European star players is an attraction, and automatically makes the competition fiercer, and from a broader perspective it can increase the fan base. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the season will soon end and we will again see how Saudi Pro League clubs are moving to add depth to their squad.

There are a number of names that are currently rumored to be joining, and it doesn't stop there, it looks like the Saudi Pro League clubs will also recruit top European coaches. The competition for the trophy this season looks unfair, because Al Hilal has consistently topped the standings without being defeated. No team has yet been able to hold back Al Hilal progress, therefore there is a possibility that in the future the Saudi Pro League club will again be active in the transfer window so that we can compete for the trophy next season.

They no longer have any hope of winning the title this season, because Al Hilal will definitely be champions again this season because their game is very good and if we compare it with Al Nassr, Al Nassr is below Al Hilal's performance. This is a worthy title for Al Hilal, they have been impressive throughout the season and when they face Al Nassr they always win.

Regarding the Al Nassr vs Al Feiha match, they managed to win the match with a score of 3-1. Even though at first they were behind and even up to the 70th minute they couldn't score a goal, they managed to use the last 20 minutes of the remaining time to create goal after goal, resulting in 3 goals from Al Amri and Sadio Mane who managed to score a brace in this match. . Even though they had to fight until the end, this result was a very good result for them because they were able to win the match and avoid defeat.

There's nothing to be expected from al nassr at this moment. Just try to keep bet on it while this is only our fuckin chance to win decent amounts of money. Take a look at the current standing. SPL will finish when it reaches matchday 34 and we are at 29 and so, there are only 5 matchday remaining at this time.
Al hilal has 11 points gap to the al nassr. It means al hilal needs to more fuckin matches to win the competition. There's no hope for al nassr to get SPL. We must only focus on which matches that can give us ez money.

Im not even expecting al nassr to win king cup too. I remind you that if there is still al hilal which is the perfect club at this time. It doesn't even matter how strong al nassr was trying and the result will always be the same.
Al hilal will own king cup too. It's gonna beat al ittihad again for so many times. Ronaldo may have no chance anymore to get at least one trophy this season.

The better for you to take a look at the fact right now.

Things are not going well with Al Nassr in the Saudi League. The title is getting harder to hold on to, and their game against Al Fayha didn't give them much hope. What do you think? They won well, which shows they can still fight. That they aren't comfortable is a good sign. Maybe the league title is not likely to happen. They're in the semifinals of the King's Cup, which is a big chance to win a prize. Final game against Al Hilal? A lot of space. Everything you need is to finish the season strong and get even. That needs to be their main goal

Yes, you are right, it was a pathetic win because it was like they were being helped to win by their opponent.
How can it be against the weakest team this season, Ittihad FC only scored one goal and took a 2-0 lead thanks to a mistake by Al-Hazm players but Al-Hazm managed to score two goals in just three minutes, and Al-Hazm was almost able to make this match end draw but unfortunately Aymen Dahmen's make mistake and that was a second mistake from home team made them disappointed because they lost and gave three points freely to their opponents.
Playing with the two mainstay strikers but Ittihad having difficulty turning every opportunity into a goal, is it possible that Ittihad is underestimating its opponent? or it could be that Ittihad's players have lost motivation because there are no more targets that can be achieved, and they will certainly remain in the top five, and unlike in European leagues, they are still trying to compete for positions in European competitions.

Al Ittihad indeed on paper has all aspects of significant advantages when compared to Al Hazm, one of the easiest is the players where Al Ittihad has players with qualities that are above the Al Hazm players.
There is also huge difference in the performance of the two teams, Al Hazm is the team at the bottom of the standings while Al Ittihad is one of the big team which is quite strong and dominates the SPL.
But the only loss for Al Ittihad lies in Benzema, which means Al Ittihad had to spend large amount of money to be able to bring him in, but Benzema performance did not live up to expectations.
Watching him play, you can see quite significant difference between when he was Real Madrid player and now with Al Ittihad.

What is quite shame is that in the previous match in the Saudi Super Cup final they were not able to put up maximum resistance and allowed Al Hilal to easily win the competition title.

I think that will soon happen in the history of Al Nassr as long as Ronaldo is still in the Saudi League and continues to contribute to Al Nassr, if I'm not mistaken Majed Ahmed Abdullah scored 72 goals during his time in Saudi Arabia from 117 matches while Ronaldo has currently achieved more from 50 goals while he was in Saudi Arabia so it is not impossible that Ronaldo will immediately surpass Majed Ahmed Abdullah and will create new history for Al Nassr but unfortunately Ronaldo is not a native Saudi Arabian player he is a European star player so it is only natural that he scores so many goals that now even though he is old.

Ronaldo has not yet given Al Nassr any title, but his contribution so far deserves to be appreciated. He also cannot carry Al Nassr's burden alone. He also needs solid cooperation between each other to be able to build a successful club in the future. Hopefully, next season Al Nassr will be able to make it happen.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr when he was almost 38 years of age but that hasn't stopped him from being a great player for the Saudi club as he's scored incredible number of goals in his first season one and half season with the club. Becoming the club's top scorer might not be achieved by Cristiano Ronaldo until he leaves the club but there's no doubt to the fact that his current goal ratio per game since he joined the club is the best in the club's history.
At his current age of 39 years, Cristiano Ronaldo is still the leading scorer in the Saudi Pro League this season and is very likely to finish the season with the golden boot award if the league. Cristiano Ronaldo is simply doing his best if you ask me just that his numerous number of goals didn't help his club to get sr the top of the Saudi Pro League table which I think is more of a concern to him than personal accolades

The age factor has indeed limited Cristiano Ronaldo. And actually the performance has also decreased quite clearly. Because after all, he is now more than 39 years old. And actually it is still quite extraordinary to see that Cristiano Ronaldo is still able to become the top scorer in a competition even though it is in the SPL. Because currently many other European players are also in the SPL. but still no one can compete with the number of goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo this season. And I think it is also a miracle that he shows at his age, which is no longer young. Because other players might have lost their sharpness in scoring lots of goals when they reach the age of 39, but Cristiano Ronaldo is different. Cristiano Ronaldo's only failure in the SPL was that he failed to bring Al-Nassr to become champions this season and last season. But we still have hope for next season. That is if the Al-nassr club can improve the Al-nassr back line which has not been very reliable this season.

Nice fact this one, i always think this kind of clubs in the middle east were a brand new one.

But weell now with all the money from the oil and other business they can start to show to the world.

The main problem like always is if they can build a solid league and the people follow the league in a serious way and not only because some stars are in them.

Al Ittihad is a much stronger team compared to a team like Al Hazzm and they have much better players.
I was expecting to see an even much better performance from Al Ittihad in this match because in Al Ittihad they got players like Karim Benzema who has the experience of playing a team like Real Madrid but unfortunately this Benzema we have seen so far in Al Ittihad was not performing well like he was playing in Real Madrid.
The fact about this game is as you said, Al Ittihad won the game because of the mistakes Al Hazzm made during this match and their own goals, otherwise, they couldn't even beat Al Hazzm.

Currently Al Nassr's position with Al Hilal is 9 points apart, and even though Al Hilal has not yet played its 28th match in the Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr has 6 matches remaining, while Al Hilal still has 7 matches. and if Al Hilal remains consistent, that means the Saudi Pro League trophy will again be taken over by Al Hilal. so, it looks like it will be difficult for Al Nassr to get close to Al Hilal's points, let alone shift Al Hilal's ranking. Jorge Jesus' team only needs to be consistent in a few matches, so they will win the League trophy. However, currently Al Hilal is focusing on the match to host Al-Ain in the AFC Champions League.

As for Al Nassr, as you said. The match against Al Fayha was not an equal opponent for Al Nassr. If Al Nassr doesn't have a chance to win a trophy at the end of this season, Al Nassr can shift its focus to the King's Cup competition. in the next match, Al Nassr will meet against Al Khaleej. After that, these two teams met again in the semi-finals of the King's Cup match. Al Nassr's chances of qualifying for the final phase are quite big, but there is a big possibility that they will meet Al Hilal in the final, even if Al Ittihad loses again. So, let's just follow it. At the very least, it's an interesting spectacle.

Al-Hilal have been able save themselves as the league winners after being able to acquire maximum points to be able to help them finish top of the league. Al-Nassr doesn’t have any chance to be able to go close to them in any way especially as the season is coming to an end already.

 Depsite losing out on the title you can still see Al-Nassr been able to win their games majorly this character shows the level of seriousness in the players and I think this is a perfect time for the coach to be able to check the team. Yes check the team and know the level of changes he’s got to apply before the start of the new season.

 ⁠The team have lost out on some couple of challenges yet they’re still trying to win their remaining matches so as not to let the point gap go bizzare and this will in a way help them be able to build up on the team’s growth. They’re in the semifinal of the Saudi Kings Cup and as such they still need to still playing at top level as this will help in building team’s coercion.

 Ronaldo being absent wasn’t really felt in that match because his team was still able to get the victory in that match but I think the fans are pretty worried on what’s happened to their star player. The team has tried to still keep winning and the hopes are high they’ll be able to at least get the Kings Cup trophy.

I can't stop thinking about Al Ittihad's performance this season, because they are showing inconsistent play and making it difficult for them to win even though their opponents are weaker. This is something they can't just leave alone, they have to improve their performance at least for next season. They have also spent a lot of money to bring in well-known players, but they have not been able to show what they hoped for.
In fact, the players they brought in created problems within the team, for example Benzema, who some time ago was involved in problems with the team and caused a breakdown in relations between them. Even though it was reported that they had resolved the problem, I still had negative thoughts about them.
Indeed, what they did by bringing in expensive players did not run as smoothly as their competitors, it looked as if they were just wasting money without having a positive impact on them.

Al Nassr Football Club was founded 68 years ago on 24th October 1955. Majed Ahmed Abdullah is Al Nassr's all-time top scorer. I thought a new history would be written when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the team in 2023. But it is understood that Cristiano Ronaldo is old, and making a new history with him is no longer possible. The packed stadium eagerly waits to witness the magic of Cristiano Ronaldo's feet. But he has not been able to show any magic so far to attract the audience. Hopefully, he can fulfill the expectations of Cristiano Ronaldo fans very soon.
